Q3.12. You are working on a very important project for an external customer.

There is a tight deadline and you are not sure that it can be met. You just found out that the solution your company has sold has some security flaws that could impact the customer. Your manager tells you to keep it quiet.

The developers are working on a fix, but it will not be done in time for the deadline. Which option is best?

(a) Explain that since you view this as a very serious breech you must go to the customer and let them know.

(b) Since this is your manager, you must follow his direction. You will try to identify some workarounds to minimize the problem.

(c) Escalate it past your manager.

(d) Resign. This is illegal and you should not get involved with it.
